What is your idea of happiness when you&rsquo;re not at work?

Staz Lindes: When I&rsquo;m not working, I love to trawl through the thrift shops of L.A. looking for vintage military or leather jackets. When I&rsquo;m feeling more outdoorsy, I go to the beach for a swim or hike in the hills. At night, I often have band practice or go to other gigs &ndash; there&rsquo;s a huge music scene here. 
As for photography, I picked up a camera when I was 13 and have carried one around with me ever since. I love to shoot nature or portraits in a really honest, candid way &ndash; nothing too staged!

What is your current state of mind?

Keeping happy, healthy and motivated. L.A. is famous for its healthy lifestyle, so I like to think of myself as a pretty clean eater. I avoid gluten, dairy and sugar and have been a pescatarian for ten years. You&rsquo;ll always find fish, eggs and greens that I like to buy at my local farmer&rsquo;s market in my fridge. I also drink a ton of water every day and take a whole range of supplements &ndash; including probiotics, Viviscal, vegetable collagen, fish oils and wellness tonics when I&rsquo;m travelling. When it comes to working out, I like to follow YouTube videos or Pilates DVDs at home.

What quality do you you like most in a woman?

Expressing individuality. Even as a teenager, I was inspired by the natural style of the iconic French actresses and models of the &lsquo;60s. I&rsquo;d even go to the hairdresser and ask for the same cut! Women like Catherine Deneuve and Betty Catroux &ndash; these were the very actresses that Monsieur Saint Laurent dressed &ndash; so I&rsquo;ve always felt a strong affinity with the brand&rsquo;s aesthetic and muses.

As I&rsquo;ve grown older, I&rsquo;ve begun to appreciate the signature play on masculine and feminine style with the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lofficielsingapore.com/runway-saint-laurent-ss17/">classic tuxedos</a>&nbsp;and tailoring. For me, it&rsquo;s a label that allows me to be who I want to be on any given day. Whether I want to look pared-down or dressed up, it allows me to express my individuality in a way that&rsquo;s always chic and luxurious.

What or who is the greatest love of your life?

Music! I think I&rsquo;ve probably loved music ever since I was in my mum&rsquo;s stomach &ndash; apparently I was dancing to Jimi Hendrix as soon as I could walk!

When and where are you happiest?

When I&rsquo;m performing. I love to experiment with super bold lip and eye colours. I often wear the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lofficielsingapore.com/ysl-beaute-vernis-levres-vinyl-cream/">Vernis &Agrave; L&egrave;vres Vinyl Cream Liquid Lipsticks</a>&nbsp;as they deliver an intense colour stain that really lasts &ndash; even when I&rsquo;m singing.

That ritual of putting my make-up on before going on stage really helps get me in the zone and makes me feel powerful. When I&rsquo;m out there, I feel powerful, free &ndash; and strangely peaceful. Sometimes I get so lost in the moment that I&rsquo;m surprised when I look up and see a crowd of people staring at me!
